Nas Highly Favored Lyrics
Highly Favored by Nas
[Verse 1]
Patient
My fate is highly favored by the father, love to all
Rest in peace to [?zhalu?] the barber brought cases
Celebrate and take it back to thought
The real New York
Death to rapists and rats, the touch school to Brooklyn stories
The king is the life to lord and queens
All the stories of Puerto Rican [?] I heard things
Know some people who know people
Getting money, broke people claim you owe some people
It's easy to explain anything to a real liver of life
Who lives where you live and see shit the same
Gotta watch who you joke or get checked
We easily mistake joke for disrespect
Where I'm from, it's never over if
Somebody dies, somebody gon' ride
Years later, somebody sons double 4-5
You laid up in ICU, hoping you survive
Too many stories like this one
[Chorus]
What's shaking?
My fate is highly favored by the father, peace to all (Peace to all, yeah)
Patience
My fate is highly favored by the father, peace to 'yall (Peace to y'all, yeah)
What's shaking?
My fate is highly favored by the father, peace to all (Peace to all, yeah)
What's shaking?
What's shaking?
[Verse 2]
Uh, yeah
Somewhat caricatures, Amateur Boys
I'm like a classic pianist with a handful of swords
Bandages on, my finger still managing chords
Like a live band, performing in a sand storm
Blind but I still hit the right keys
Swift as a life breeze dripping
In fear of God, scented in antique fragrance
Some nights [?cree?], flavors
I am motivation, I don't talk with the next man, I'm never hating
This daily bread, holy bread
Alphabetical numerals, code of red
What's more dense, gold or lead?
What's more expensive?
The OG said, no matter what it is, rent it
And never buy it, it's all temporary possessions
We don't own nothing on this Earth but our soul and that's the lesson
Project apartment parties, rest in peace to Marley
Try not to get booked by Officer [?]
[Chorus]
What's shaking?
My fate is highly favored by the father, peace to all (Peace to all, yeah)
Patience
My fate is highly favored by the father, peace to y'all (Peace to y'all, yeah)
What's shaking?
My fate is highly favored by the father, peace to all (Peace to all, yeah)
What's shaking?
What's shaking?
